Ten Years

Famous quotes containing the words ten years, ten and/or years:

    What matters it that man should have a little more knowledge of the universe? If he has it, he gets little higher. Is he not always infinitely removed from the end, and is not the duration of our life equally removed from eternity, even if it lasts ten years longer?
    Blaise Pascal (1623–1662)

    Once one is caught up into the material world not one person in ten thousand finds the time to form literary taste, to examine the validity of philosophic concepts for himself, or to form what, for lack of a better phrase, I might call the wise and tragic sense of life.
    F. Scott Fitzgerald (1896–1940)

    So many things I had thought forgotten
    Return to my mind with stranger pain:
    Like letters that arrive addressed to someone
    Who left the house so many years ago.
    Philip Larkin (1922–1986)
